SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning!
For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction
<strong>Manual</strong> Before Operating <strong>Lathe</strong>
1. <strong>Lathe</strong>s are supplied with a threewire
cord to provide grounding if your
electrical system is properly installed
by a qualified electrician <strong>and</strong> in compliance
with the national, regional <strong>and</strong>
local electrical codes.
2. Improper grounding can cause
electrical shock. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce risk of
electric shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
All grounded, cord-connected tools:
The lathe is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor <strong>and</strong> a grounding gap. The
plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed <strong>and</strong>
grounded in accordance with all codes
<strong>and</strong> ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with
domestic lathes - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. In the U.S.A.,
the conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electrical cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded.
<strong>Lathe</strong>s sold <strong>and</strong> installed in the U.S.A.
should use only 3-wire extension cords
that have 3-prong grounding plugs
<strong>and</strong> 3-pole receptacles that accept
the power plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn
cords immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a
circuit that has an outlet that looks like
the one illustrated in Sketch (A) above.
The tool has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch
(A) above. A temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. A temporary
adapter which looks like the adapter
illustrated in sketch (C), may be used
to connect to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Sketch (B). The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, etc. extending from
the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground, such as a properly
grounded outlet box or a cold
water pipe (metal).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE <strong>and</strong> in
working order.
2. REMOVE ALL TOOLS FROM THE
WORK AREA before turning lathe on.
Always place tools in storage area.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas <strong>and</strong> benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS EN-
VIRONMENT. Use lathe indoors only.
Don’t use lathe in damp or wet locations,
or expose to rain. Keep work
area well lighted.
5. DON’T FORCE LATHE. It will do
the job better <strong>and</strong> safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
6. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force
lathe or attachment for a job for which
it was not designed.
7. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do
not wear loose clothing, gloves, necktie,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry
that might get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
8. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses,
they are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty.
9. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing <strong>and</strong> balance.
10. MAINTAIN LATHE WITH CARE.
Keep cutters sharp <strong>and</strong> clean for best
performance <strong>and</strong> to reduce the risk of
injury to persons. Follow instructions
for lubricating <strong>and</strong> changing accessories.
11. DISCONNECT LATHE before servicing,
or when changing accessories,
such as spacers, collets, cutters
<strong>and</strong> the like.
12. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNIN-
TENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure
unit power switch is in the off position
before plugging in.
